This is the best I've heard from @sajidjavid: moving use of his own story; the "not just Brexit" candidate
"We can't go for a short-term, comfort-zone candidate"
"Hard work, public services and family": what gave Javid his chances in life and the core of his platform

Equalities Qs now running 6 minutes over time
#PMQs starts at 1208. I think this is a record

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

1. Day 10 of Westminster hearings at #CSAinquiry – my round-up in two parts. Part 2 in 30 tweets. Part 1 yday:

More on whipping MPs.

And a clash at #CSAinquiry that illustrates how inquiry has been whipped to stay in line, limiting what it can reveal...
2. Revelations from Lord Jopling’s whipping notes (see part 1 of summary for Day 10 ) puts an earlier comment to #CSAinquiry by Ken Clarke about the ‘dirt books’ in a new light.

Mystery makes for mischief, as Gyles Brandreth put it. And so does secrecy...
3. Ken Clarke told #CSAinquiry what happens to Tory whips’ ‘dirt books’: “We didn’t want this to go into the archives, they were the property of the chief whip, and the chief whip would take them off.”

By archives, Clarke means the National Archives, the UK’s historical record.

Labour/SNP amendments defeated - Lab got 296 votes for its Customs Union vote proposal.

Now it is Grieve amendment - important test of whether Commons wants now to take repeated weekly opportunities to set Brexit agenda...

It/ Cooper need same 25 Tory MPs rebels as in November
- correction the 25 rebels were in early December on the Business of the House motion amendment (on same day as contempt vote). That led to a 321-299 Government defeat despite DUP and 4 Labour voting with Government
Grieve amendment takes control of Commons business away from Government every Tuesday from 12th Feb until Brexit Day. It’s procedural, doesn’t specify what it is to be used for. Some argue realistically required to help Cooper Bill across line

It's going to be a massive day in parliament. Your amuse-bouche, in which govt might be found in contempt of parliament, is kicking off now parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/83…
Starmer: "It's no longer for the govt to judge. It is for parliament, which is a higher authority."
Near silence in Chamber while Starmer is speaking.

Which party has the oldest average age of MPs? THREAD
First off, we must thank-you all. We launched a poll on Monday expecting maybe 500 responses maximum. Instead we had a whopping three-thousand-two-hundred-and-thirty votes on our Twitter poll.

That’s ridiculous.
We asked you which party you thought had the oldest average age of MPs.

Most of you, 66%, thought it was the @Conservatives, then the @LibDems (15%), then @UKLabour (14%), with the @theSNP coming in last with (5%).

I bet the SNP are feeling fairly youthful right about now.
